University of Missouri develops rewritable DNA storage promising extraordinary density and longevity compared with cloud storage and conventional drives ...

A gel held together entirely by interlocking DNA rings exhibits mechanical properties unlike any conventional gel, driven ...

They live in our houses, drink our water and even sleep in our beds. Cats have become an integral part of many households and share much of our lives. They also share much of their biology with humans ...

Abstract: Next-generation sequencing deals with exponential growth in sequence databases; the primary challenge is aligning short-read sequences in a time-efficient manner. Despite numerous efforts in ...

AGBT is also, increasingly, a showcase for instruments for spatial biology, a fast-growing field that involves pinpointing the location of RNA and protein molecules en masse. Tarbox calls the meeting ...

Scientists developed Evo 2, a large biological foundation model trained on about 9 trillion DNA base pairs that can analyse ...

Our single-celled ancestor lived in a world without plants, animals or oxygen-rich oceans. Yet, this seemingly simple microorganism took the first steps toward complex life. From this ancestor emerged ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...

A genome-wide cfDNA methylation enrichment method (cfMeDIP-seq) enables response monitoring using plasma alone, avoiding ...

Nvidia, the computer chip giant, continues its deep dive into expanding artificial intelligence technology in the medtech and cancer research arenas, this time with diagnostics maker Droplet ...

There is a larger, disturbing phenomenon that is demonstrated by the Galleri story. It can be summed up by the Aristotelian principle that “nature abhors a vacuum.” In the Galleri case, a bit of ...
